20-Minute Menus
Marian Burros
If eating well is the best revenge, the second-best revenge has
got to be
making really great meals in 20 minutes. Or less. There's a
catch, though, in the timing --
someone else has to set the table.
Just as with the meals in 'Revenge,' an outline of the order of
preparation
guides you through the two or sometimes three recipes associated
with a meal.
And just the fact that the meal takes a miniscule part of your
day means you
can afford to be more adventurous. Under no circumstances would
I ever consider devoting
a large amount of time to the preparation of carrot pilaf with
toasted pine
nuts. But it turned out to be an incredibly delicious
combination of subtle
complementary flavours.
Sure, you can live without this cookbook. But if you take a
jaunt over to Amazon.com
and
buy this cookbook now, you
won't have to.
In & Out of the Kitchen
(in Fifteen Minutes or Less)
Anne Willan
Can you see where we're going? First meals under 30 minutes,
then under 20, where will it stop?
This is the best cookbook I have ever read. It's clear,
inspiring, beautifully well-designed, thoughtful and fun. It
will save you time as you become, in the kitchen and perhaps
elsewhere, the magician you always knew you were.
This book is easily worth three times its twenty-five dollar
list price. And at Amazon you get it for even less.
So simmer on over to Amazon
and
read the great reviews of this wonderful cookbook

Irene likes this cookbook a lot, even though it doesn't
present complete meals. You have to read the
recipes yourself and decide what you want! It's outrageous!!
Plus, the meals may take more than 20 minutes to
prepare!!!
I like the results quite a bit. Since it's referred to here
frequently, you could easily find yourself
bopping over to Amazon and
buying this well-laid-out cookbook
